Prostate Cancer Diagnoses Increases Chances of Heart Attack

A recent study has revealed that men who are diagnosed with prostate cancer are more likely to have a heart attack or what one calls cardio-vascular morbidity. According to researchers, it is a fact that emotional stress is linked to cardio-vascular morbidity and mortality. Emotional triggers result in physiological responses on the vascular, inflammatory and immune systems. Therefore, it was found that men diagnosed with prostate cancer are at increased risk of both cardio-vascular morbidity and death within the first year after diagnosis. Men younger than 54 years are at greatest risk.
